I just got back from Iraq and my Jeep has been set up for about 6 months. When I left it worked just fine. I came home and found wires undone(which some were anyway). I was not getting any juice at all. I replaced my cylinode. I also replaced or repaired the pos/neg wiring and battery. I can now get some juice but she will not turn over. Spark plugs look good as does the manual fuel pump. Can you offer a few other suggestions?

It is trying to crank, but just isn't catching the spark. I am looking at getting a little cold crank spray to help it get that extra boost.
